On a related note, San Francisco State University belives that stepping on Hezbollah and Hamas flags constitutes inciting violence and creating a hostile environment. The europeans are not the only enablers of terrorism.

ok, i dunno whether anyone brought up that caricatures of "Prophet Mohammed" and "Allah" were printed by two muslim countries in 2005.

Upon googling, i came across a site that has the caricatures of both "Prophet Mohammed" and "Allah" with face blured and non-blured.

So, when u guys do it(print caricatures of god), its not wrong?? and when non-muslims do it, its blasphemy???

Before u guys start sending me hate-mails, let me make it clear that ive nothing against Islam and its people.

Just wanted to bring out this topic and know ur opinion.

Peace!!!

One more comment – the last part of Abhi’s article is quite off the tone of the previous parts, which are excellent. Abhi here has bought into the Islamic myth of pre-Islamic jahilliya.

It appears that an Egyptian newspaper published the cartoons in October 2005. See: http://egyptiansandmonkey.blogspot.com/2006/02/boycott-egypt.html for scanned images.

Apparently there was no protest back then. The spark was there, the fire did not result. If so, the common assumption that there is currently a lot of inflammability out there is not true. It seems likely the current ruckus has been deliberately created. If so, it is not an issue of religious sensitivities or of freedom of speech. It is rather how some governments and some non-governmental groups will do anything they can to foment trouble.

230 Anji. The UN? That impotent body that today displays the map of Middle East without Israel?

That stood by and talked and talked and talked while Rawanda was overflowing with blood and bodies of its citizens killed?

Where it is behaves like a eunuch unable to deal with Dafur? What impact did the UN make on the Arab world on the horrendous crime being committed by their fellow Arabs in Sudan? Kofi Anan described it as "collective massacre"

The UN failed with Bosnia Herzigovinia. It took the US and Nato forces to fight against Christian Serbs to aid Bosnian muslims.

Go back to Soviet Times. The UN fiddled and talked and talked and talked while the Soviets carved up Germany, and swallowed Poland and Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Latvia Lithunia and Estonia.

The UN is a standing joke. As are the UNocratics within.

Read the UN Agenda 21 and see what the UN has in store for the peoples of the world.

I havnt heard him denying the Holocaust itself. I might have missed his denial though as hes pretty crazy and I can see him denying the holocaust.

he's not the only crazy out there...

Northwestern University President Henry Bienen said Monday that a professor's recent comments denying that the Holocaust happened are "a contemptible insult to all decent and feeling people" and an embarrassment to the university. Bienen commented days after tenured engineering professor Arthur Butz commented in the Tribune and in the Iranian press that he agreed with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's assertions that the Holocaust is a myth.
